Good to be young.  Mid 20's seems to be a typical age.  Im curious how many people past age 30 or even 40 are doing this.

32 I am planning to get it done next year or the year after.
My understanding is most
people that do this surgery are between 20 and 39.

Surprised anyone is doing the procedure at the end of this year when early next year the new precise and fitbone weight bearing come out.

Is that confirmed? So, would the new precice and the fitbone weight bearing be released early next year? If so, this is a good news! :)

There have been lots of delays. Six months ago it was November release. Now it's Feb earliest. Good chance it'll be delayed further. I'm talking precise MAX. I have not followed fitbone.

My window in time is now. I’m not going to wait around for something to come onto the market that has faced continuous delays. Additionally my surgeon said there is an anticipated 30% price increase for the max and a waiting list for the moment it comes out.
